A Holiday Theater tradition takes a new twist in: A Fairy Tale Christmas Carol By Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus All the famous fairy-tale characters take on all of the memorable roles of Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol”. This fun-filled adaptation stays true to the warmth and heart of the classic story.

Midas warns Big Bad that he will be visited by The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future (played by a Fairy Godmother, Old King Cole, and the Queen of Hearts respectively).
